WIP on the Desk: Dwarves and Romans and Vikings and Arthurians Oh My!

Kind of
an odd mix of stuff on the painting desk at the moment. I have in the
works a Reaper Miniatures Dwarf, I believe this is a Werner Klonke
sculpt. Fun and an easy miniature to paint, practically paints itself.

I also
have this dwarf, a Red Box Games - Tre Manor sculpt. Not sure when or
even why I picked up this model. I'm normally not into dwarves. Even
though these are both dwarves there are huge scale differences between
the two. Even though this one is smaller the detail is still there and
it is kind of neat miniature to paint.

Then we
have the two Romans, both Foundry miniatures. If you have followed my
blog, in the past I've paint a number of these models. They are some of
my favorites to paint as they have a nice flow, and not overly complex
detail. They practically paint themselves and once painted always seem
to look very nice. I have to different schemes going on here, one in
reds that I'm very comfortable painting, and another in purples which
I'm attempting to become comfortable painting.

Then some Foundry Vikings and Saxon Miniatures' Arthurians.

Then I have a few wound markers in the works along with some pieces I cut out of the base for the Mumak that I'm converting. Thought they would make decent terrain additions.

About Me

I've been involved in the hobby of war gaming now for approximately 20 years. I was the GW 2008 Chicago GT Best Appearance winner in Fantasy, and have collected a number of Rogue Demon awards over the years at Adepticon from their painting contests. Mike Butcher and I were the winners of 2012 Adepticon WAB Team event. My primary interest lies in the modeling of the miniatures. I love cool looking armies and miniatures and terrain. And I also occassionally throw down the dice.
So if you like conversions and paint like I do, that is what you will get here. From Warhammer Fantasy to 40k to Historicals.
